Method and apparatus for signaling transmission characteristics in a wireless communication network

摘要

A wireless network uses an improved frame structure to increase timing acquisition capabilities as well as reduction of spectral lines. In one aspect, the frame packet can be used to communicate the different modes of operation under which the packet was created.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication comprising:
generating a packet that comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a start frame delimiter, wherein the start frame delimiter is further used to signal a characteristic of the second portion, and wherein the start frame delimiter comprises a plurality of symbols indicating at least one of:
a rate of transmission of at least one of a header and a data of the packet;a beacon packet;a duration of the packet; ora duration of an allocation of a transmission medium; and transmitting the packet.
